exception: must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>"

I get this error when trying to validate an xsd file:

java.io.IOException: Problems occurred:Error on line 20 of document file:/G:/Data/xml/weather2.xsd: Element type "xsd:minInclusiveValue" must be followed by either attribute specifications, ">" or "/>".
at org.enhydra.validation.SchemaParser.parseSchema(SchemaParser.java:122)
at org.enhydra.validation.SchemaParser.<init>(SchemaParser.java:57)
at org.enhydra.validation.Validator.<init>(Validator.java:40)
at org.enhydra.validation.Validator.getInstance(Validator.java:68)
at ValidatorTest.main(ValidatorTest.java:18)

Line 20 is:
<xsd:minInclusiveValue="0"/>
but that particular line is not really the issue, i suspect. What is the problem?

weather2.xsd is:

All your xsd:simpleType elements aren't terminated correctly eg.:

<xsd:simpleType base="xsd:year">

Should be:

<xsd:simpleType base="xsd:year"/>

I can see that that is indeed incorrect.
However, even after correcting this, the same error still occurs.

Can you post the updated file.
